Xia Yuan's smiling appearance made Ye Wanruo let out a long breath. I just saw everyone's expressions, and I thought that what I had learned from had been exposed.

At this time, Ye Wanruo really relieved her nervousness and settled down with peace of mind.

Ye Wanruo didn't know that Xia Yuan's previous image in front of everyone had never been so pleasant, and he often blamed everyone.

Although the people who came here were all trying to leave a good impression on Xia Yuan and wanted to get Xia Yuan's favor, they were also repeatedly frustrated.

For the first topic proposed by Xia Yuan, the final winner, I believe everyone has seen it. Although some people were unconvinced, they were also in front of Xia Yuan, and they didn't dare to make a mistake.

As Ye Wanruo returned to her seat, Sheng Quan gave Ye Wanruo a friendly thumbs up.

Ye Wanruo scratched her head embarrassedly, she had no intention of inserting willows, but she didn't expect to be appreciated by Xia Yuan by mistake. What's more, Ye Wanruo still borrowed the poems of the ancients, which can be regarded as cheating in modern times, so she naturally feels a little sorry for Sheng Quan.

Then in the middle of the stage, Xia Yuan's confident voice sounded again:

"The little friends who can sit here today have been reading poetry and books for decades, not only to be able to gain fame, but also to cultivate themselves, cultivate their sentiments, and improve their spiritual realm.

In the book, we can not only experience the heroic momentum, but also feel the shyness and sorrow, and let each of us scholars remember the patriotic enthusiasm that each of us should have. In the vast river of history, it is our so-called literati who have stirred up waves with their spirits, and even need to wander in them to empathize with them.

I believe that we all feel the benefits of reading. A fellow practitioner once asked Lao Qiao, since reading is important to us, should we read a wide range of books or strive for excellence?

Next, our second topic is for our friends to freely talk about dialectics and verify this issue. From now on, take half an hour as a benchmark! ”

To say that writing poetry on the spot may not be a few people's strength, but when it comes to reading, everyone here has the right to speak.

In this dynasty where communication was blocked, the common people were busy with their own food and clothing problems, although the country was safe and secure, but the conservative thinking made them think that reading was useless.

Therefore, there are very few people who can come to Kyoto to gain fame and fame.

Looking at the faces among them, they are either innocent and immature, or they have gone through vicissitudes, and even from the physiognomy, some of them have participated in the scientific examination for several years, but they still have not achieved any fame;

Regardless of whether they have a gap in experience or age, Ye Wanruo thinks that their hearts are the same to get rid of poverty and seek well-being for the people.

For a while, Ye Wanruo looked at the eyes of the scholars around her, with more admiration and helplessness.

Seeing that everyone was eager to try, they all wanted to get back the situation they lost in the first game.

Ye Wanruo knew that for herself, it might be as simple as simply wanting to get an inkstone. But for these scholars, it is a lost chance in life.

Therefore, next, Ye Wanruo does not plan to be too prominent.

I saw that between Ye Wanruo's thoughts, a thin boy in a white plain robe stood opposite, shook the folding fan in his hand, and said with full charm:

"Of course, reading is not only to improve cultural quality, cultivate sentiment, and broaden horizons. My father also said that being well-read also makes a person have advanced knowledge, be able to speak well, and be respected. So I personally think that being well-read should be above all else! ”

Before the thin man could sit down, a relatively burly man stood up opposite him, and a rough voice sounded:

"I disagree with this brother's remark that reading a wide range of books should also be read more useful books. Books are the source of human knowledge, just as if a country were to lose its book culture, then even if it was a rich and prosperous country, it would sooner or later be threatened with extinction and destruction.

On the other hand, if a country only knows how to seize cities and expand its territory all day long, and does not know how to train its troops leanly, even if it has acquired cities and territories, it will one day be taken back. Therefore, excellence should be the basis of a wide range of books! ”

At this time, a man in a dark blue satin brocade robe sitting opposite Ye Wanruo did not get up, but looked at Ye Wanruo opposite with an impolite smile on the corner of his mouth, and said loudly and wantonly:

"As long as it's reading, there's always something good! Am I right? This brother? ”

As early as when the man had been staring at Ye Wanruo, Ye Wanruo had already sensed something bad from the light in his eyes.

When the man challenged Ye Wanruo, Ye Wanruo had already whispered something to Sheng Quan beside him.

After hearing the man's mocking look, Ye Wanruo just smiled politely, while Sheng Quan stood up, looked at the man opposite and said:

"It is beneficial to have a good book, and all of you here can understand this. As far as the benefits of reading are concerned, it is so big that it can make people realize their understanding, change their past mistakes, and move towards the bright road. At least it can teach us to read and write, and learn different writing techniques.

It is true that the benefits of reading are everywhere, but aren't these benefits based on excellence? If reading books is only a general understanding of the surface of the book, and only looking at the surface, how can it be possible to change the past and realize the truth? ”

Sheng Quan's argument Even Xia Yuan, who was watching the scholars debating in the center of the stage, couldn't help nodding his head, but his eyes were indeed looking at Ye Wanruo beside Sheng Quan.

Ye Wanruo just looked at Sheng Quan's performance beside her with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and didn't notice Xia Yuan's attention to herself, and this smile was extremely dazzling in the eyes of the son opposite.

At the same time, it also made the face of the first son who was the first to attack just now even darker.

What made him angry was that Ye Wanruo didn't stand up to deal with it, but actually told the people around him to refute it, which made the boy completely lose face.

I saw that the boy stood up unwillingly this time, and looked at Ye Wanruo unwillingly, his eyes were full of provocation:

Indeed, reading is to be fine, and only by being fine can you find your own direction. But on the other hand, there are so many books that it is impossible not to choose to read them. Rather, it is necessary to choose on the basis of the expo, and only by reading a wide range of books will we have the right judgment and choose a better reading direction. ”

probably felt the unkindness of the son, and the sturdy boy just now stood up again for the first time:

"Then does the well-read books mentioned by this brother also include the forbidden books that are explicitly prohibited by the imperial court? Although the content in it is different, it should be considered a well-read book, right?

Moreover, there are many people in the world who also read the banned books of the imperial court under the banner of being well-read. If so, it is not a question of being well-read, but of personal qualities! Do you think I'm right? ”

"You...."

The man, who was angry by this answer, stood up, stretched out his fingers, and glared angrily at the sturdy boy not far away. I was speechless for a while, but I couldn't answer.

"Jingyuan Xiaoyou, what do you think of the two points of view?"

It seemed that sensing the atmosphere at this time was mixed with the smell of fireworks, Xia Yuan stopped the two from arguing in a deep voice.

I thought that this debate would not be decided in the end, but I didn't expect Xia Yuan's eyes to skip everyone and look at Ye Wanruo.

Ye Wanruo, who didn't want to be in the limelight anymore, was personally named by Xia Yuan at this time, and knew that she couldn't escape, so she stood up slowly, deliberately lowered her voice and said:

"Mr. Hui's words, if you put aside this argument. Jingyuan believes that the important thing in reading itself is not the quantity of knowledge, but the quality of knowledge, some people know a lot, but they don't know the most useful things.

It is the verification of that sentence - learning is not expensive. It is better to know ten things and not reach the ground, than to know one and reach the ground. Of course, when Jingyuan said this, he did not favor any kind of remarks. Reading is to be broad, but you must choose and be refined, to borrow a sentence from the brother just now:

Reading must be fine, and only by being fine can you find your own direction. But on the other hand, there are so many books that it is impossible not to choose to read, and it is also necessary to choose on the basis of the expo.

Some brothers say that reading should be "broad", and some brothers say that reading should be "fine". In fact, it is not contradictory, it is a verification of "learning and knowledge" and "knowing and refining". If you think about it, many things in this world are opposites and unity, but they complement each other.

Jingyuan believes that the reason why Mr. asked us to argue like this is to let us better remember the relationship between them. The above is just Jing Yuan's humble opinion, please don't laugh at Mr.! ”

"Good! Good! Good! ”

Xia Yuan said three good words in a row, and his eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Ye Wanruo.

Ye Wanruo didn't want to be competitive, and the question raised by Xia Yuan was also a casual statement that was not well thought out and understood.

It's just that let's not talk about whether Ye Wanruo's statement won Xia Yuan's heart, but the generosity of the troubled son also made them and scholars secretly praise Ye Wanruo's mind.

Hearing Xia Yuan's praise, all the scholars in the audience nodded without hesitation and whispered!

"With Xiaoyou's rich and outstanding talents, he will be a civil official in the court in the future, and he will definitely be outstanding and be reused by the emperor today. The old man can introduce Xiaoyou and let Xiaoyou participate in this year's imperial examination, I don't know what Xiaoyou wants? ”

Xia Yuan was kind, and Ye Wanruo was deeply moved.

But this suggestion, Ye Wanruo can't agree to it no matter what, Jingyuan's identity is always just Ye Wanruo's hope, and it can't be shown to others.

Although Hua Mulan joined the army for her father in ancient times, it is not a special case that women have not been allowed to participate in politics since ancient times.

If you are not careful today, sooner or later you will surely be killed.

What's more, with such a special status, even if you don't participate in the imperial examination and don't enter the palace to seek a job, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth, so why do you need to risk your life again?

Thinking of this, Ye Wanruo hurriedly bowed down in fear and said:

"Thank you for Mr. 's kindness, but Jing Yuanzhi is not here, please Mr. Haihan!"

Hearing Ye Wanruo's answer, Xia Yuan just sighed regretfully, picked up the "stone eye" inkstone on the left hand side, and slowly walked in front of Ye Wanruo:

"As the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions, and Xiaoyou is so transparent, and he doesn't say much about the old age. Today's Xiaoyou's knowledge is enough to amaze the audience, this inkstone should be given to Jingyuan Xiaoyou, hoping to meet Xiaoyou again in the future. ”

He took the inkstone in Xia Yuan's hand with both hands, and his eyes showed unconcealed love, and he bowed slightly:

"Thank you, sir, Jingyuan should be carefully preserved and cherished!"

Until the end of the Yiwen Friends activity, Ye Wanruo still couldn't put it down and held the inkstone in her hand and refused to let go.

In Xia Yuan's old mansion, the scholars have all dispersed. Inside the desk, Xia Yuan was sitting above at this time, while Sheng Quan was standing on the side, with a respectful look in his eyes....
